Though I applauad the FCC for limiting Comcast’s growth it makes me wonder where these people were when Cingular bought Bellsouth, and AT&T bought Bellsouth, so on and so forth. Now we are back to square one with Ma Bell running the show.

Yeah, like it’s going to matter. Comcast monopoly….our rates go up…..Comcast unable to grow monopoly….rates raised to maintain revenue growth. Either way, without multiple competition, rates go up. Heck, we are starting to see Verizon in the area. Guess what???? Their rates are exactly the same as Comcast’s.

I wonder if the FCC will say the same thing to the phone companies (AT&T and Verizon) when they enter the video market across the nation with their proposed IPTV technology (already being launched in many parts of the country – including Texas, California, and Pennsylvania). I bet they let those campanies have more than 30% of the market since they have the deep pockets to pay for the lobbyists. The FCC is all political.

Concast bought Media-One in my area and raised the rates with no upgrade in internet speed.The only reason i pay the 70 bucks a month is because they didn’t install a filter on me so i get all the analog cable channels minus the movie channels.But this is my point—during commercials sometimes there will be 6 stupid comcash commercials in a row (they must own vehix.com too because there sandwiched in there also). This means they are using your cable fees to buy tons of airtime on commercials to advertise there services back to you.The amount they spend on advertising has got to be huge because i can flip through channels in between shows at say 7:59pm and multible stations will be running them. concash is really ripping us off ,im paying to watch adds for a cable provider i have to use anyway—cant have dishes on condo:(
